I let Chris choose my next read! Day 217

Saturday 24th February Day 217

We are up and out for just before 9am and it’s a chilly -1 degrees as we get into the car. We head straight into Stafford and to all the usual shops; The Range, Home bargains, Dunelm, Wickes and mange to get most of the last DIY bits and bobs. Then we head to the carpet shop we visited a few weeks ago as they were so friendly we returned. We found a great roll of carpet for the lounge which was £79 but she did us a deal for £50 as we also bought some vinyl for the shower room at £59 so a real bargain. ((which you’ve not yet fitted!)) Give us a chance.

We take all our purchases back to the boat as the car is bulging, have some dinner and then head back out as we have decided to visit Stone again. This is the place we moored up near for a while last year and we love it. It’s really nice to be back and we do the standard wander of the charity shops and I buy some nice jigsaws. I cannot decide which book to read so task Chris with the decision to choose me one… ((This should be good!)) He chose ‘Woman of a certain rage’ by Georgie Hall ((brilliant)) you don’t need two guesses to why he chose that one! Also, when I read the blurb on the back one of the characters has a canal book – what are the chances!

We go for a sneaky drink in the pub before heading home. Day done. Until tomorrow. x
